To confirm a reservation, a minimum deposit of $500 and a signed booking form (including these terms and conditions) must be returned. Tentative reservations may be held for seven days upon request. If a signed booking form and the full deposit amount have not been received in this time, the venue reserves the right to release the space. Please note that all minimum spend requirements are inclusive of catering and beverage spend only. Any additional costs incurred for entertainment are not counted towards the final minimum spend figure. Deposits may be paid via major credit card, EFTPOS, or cash. All prices quoted in the above functions pack are inclusive of GST and subject to change without notice. A 10% surcharge applies on public holidays.

CANCELLATIONS

Cancellation of functions after the deposit has already been paid can only be done via direct consultation with management and only by the person who made the initial reservation and paid the deposit. In the event of a cancellation, the following fees will apply:

DIETARY REQUIREMENTS

Please be advised that all care is taken when catering for special requirements. It must be noted that within the premises, we handle nuts, seafood, shellfish, sesame seeds, wheat flour, eggs, fungi, and dairy products. Patrons’ requests will be catered for to the best of our ability; however, the decision to consume a meal is the responsibility of the diner.

BYO

No beverage of any kind is permitted to be brought into the venue for consumption at a function by the host. Birthday Cakes are welcome to be brought in.

GUEST ENTRY

Guest entry to functions will be permitted only within the agreed start and finish times. It is recommended that guests arrive within the first hour of the function. Management reserves the right to refuse entry to any patron in accordance with responsible service of alcohol procedures and the house policy.

MINORS

The venue allows underage guests to attend functions, under the proviso that they are supervised by a parent or legal guardian at all times. Underage guests are not permitted to leave the function space and must leave the venue immediately after the event has concluded. Under no circumstances may any patron under the age of 18 years of age consume alcohol. If any minors are found to be consuming or in the possession of alcohol, they will be asked to leave immediately in the company of their parent or legal guardian.

The host is responsible for conducting the function in an orderly manner. All venue policies, procedures, and legal responsibilities apply to all guests and hosts, including total compliance to all responsible service of alcohol and house policy standards. It is the host’s responsibility to ensure that all details given to guests regarding the function are accurate. If a function is booked under false pretenses or a host provides false information, management reserves the right to cancel the function without notice and at the expense of the host.
